The awkwardly named M is a pretty interesting little chunk
of code. A one-off developed by the author to dump data with important keys
first, it allows you to "sort by example" as in our code sample which yields:
=begin pre
Rudolph,Dasher,Dancer,Prancer,Vixen,Comet,Cupid,Dunder,Blixem,Chet,Olive
=end pre
Other uses for it might be to ensure that in a sorted list of contestants,
those who placed sort accordingly, while everyone else sorts alphabetically;
perhaps with no-shows or disqualified individuals bringing up the rear.
This would require a multi-step sort where placed contestants are sorted by
rank into a C, whose results are then referenced by the ½ maker.
